Interested. Let all the teachers be present
... The debate on last Friday even
ing was of unusual interest Sew
eral of the older citizens were out and took
part in the discussion. The young folks
who took part in the Quartette deserve credit
for the performance of their part of the
programme so well. Mr.. F. j. McClain
has just finished the new bookcase for the
High school. 1t is an excellent piece of
furniture, and will add very much to the
appearance of the school room. The school
is under great obligations TO Mr.. McI.ain
for what he has done. The case has been
given to the school at about the cost of the
material. The best proof of ones interest
in a matter is in what he does rather than
in what he says. Mr.. NJ. is the true friend

Frank Pierce's College Fun.

Frank Pierce was rather wild when he
was student at BOwdOn college. One of
his plHnks occurred when Lafayette, who
was everywhere hailed with joy, vas Vis-
iting the New England states. The re-
nOwned patriot had got aS far east rs
Portsmouth. when II became doubtful II
he would proceed further 1t had, how
ever, been reported that he would pass
through Brunswick, and so it was pro-
posed by Pierce to give Lafayette a recep-
ton. Accordingly the students hired car
riages secured cannon and went at the
proper time out on the Brunswick road to
meet the general and his staff
About . clock in the evening there was
seen coming up the road the procession of
students all ablaze. BY precOncerted
arrangement it was announced at the mo-
ment through all the town that Lafayette
was near. The people rushed out of their
houses, the ladies waved their handker
chiefs and cheer rose upon cheer. The
general bowed in Acknowledgement, and
finally got down from his carriage and
cOndeSCended 10 kiss several of the fair
young ladies. That man was not Gen.
Lafayette but John Cleveland, Il student,
who had perSonatcd the character to per
lection. The whole affair wound up with
L supper, n good joke. and 50 the people Of
Brunswick never saw the real hero. Ben:

A Genial Restorative,

HOStetter's Stomach Bitters are emphatic
ally a genial restorative. The changes
which this great botanic remedy produces
in the disOrdered organization are always
agreeably, though Irely progressive, never
abrupt and violent On this account it is
admirably adapted to persons of delicate
constitution and weak nerves, to whom the
powerful mineral drugs are positively in
furious. That it initiates those processes
which result in the re-estabiShment of
healthful vigOr is cOnspicuOusly shown in
cases where it is taken to overcome that
frighttul cause of debility, indigestion
coupled, as it usually is, with biliousness
and constipation. Thorough digestion, reg
ular evacuation and abundant secretion, are
results which promptly and invariably at
END its systematic use. Ii is, besides, the
best protective against malaria, and a first
